City of Lost Souls centers on a desperate struggle. Jace is bound to Clary's malevolent brother, Sebastian, by Lilith's powerful magic. The Clave seeks to eliminate Sebastian, but doing so would also kill Jace.
Undeterred by the grim situation, Clary refuses to abandon Jace. She embarks on a perilous quest to sever the magical bond, no matter the cost. Others, including Alec, Simon, Magnus, and Isabelle, join the fight, determined to find a solution.
The mystery of Jace's true self lingers. Can Clary trust the one who returns, and is he still worth the danger she faces?
While my interest waned at times, particularly regarding the focus on Clary and Jace's relationship, the overall narrative remains engaging.

La autora creó un mundo INCREIBLE, interesante y diferente. El primer libro fue impresionante. El segundo libro fue bueno... y de ahí en adelante lo arruinó todo.
Esta saga podría haber sido tan grandiosa como Harry Potter, pero no. A la autora se le ocurrió hacer que todo se convirtiera en una serie televisiva barata sobre adolescentes con las hormonas revolucionadas, una saga en el que todos salen con todos y se besan con todos. Amores, traiciones, celos, etc.
Lo importante debería ser la batalla, los enemigos y el mundo de los Cazadores de Sombras, no los dilemas amorosos de un grupo de adolescentes que solo quieren besarse y tener sexo.

Es una lástima que se haya arruinado una idea tan buena.

I will definitely be reading city of heavenly fire. I give it 3 stars because at the beginning of city of lost souls, it went unbearably slow. It wasn't until the last 150 pages or so that the book really drew me in but once it did it was AMAZING!
